Protein extraction from detoxified cassava leaves using various deep eutectic solvents: A sustainable strategy to enhance nutritional and functional properties.

Cassava (Manihot esculenta) leaves, containing 20-30 % protein and essential amino acids (EAAs), present a promising source of sustainable plant-based protein alternatives. Deep eutectic solvent (DES) offers an eco-friendly, emerging solution for qualitative protein with great functionality, superior to the alkaline extraction-isoelectric precipitation (AE-IP). In this study, the protein extraction from detoxified cassava leaves using eight DESs composed of various HBAs and HBDs.

Isolation of detoxified cassava (Manihot esculenta L.) leaf protein by alkaline extraction-isoelectric precipitation: Optimization and its characterization.

The cassava leaves protein isolate extraction and optimization were investigated using response surface methodology, where the maximum protein content (21.83 ± 0.41 g/100 g dm), extraction yield (18.

Cold plasma: a promising technology for improving the rheological characteristics of food.

At the beginning of the 21st century, many consumers show interest in purchasing safe, healthy, and nutritious foods. The intent requirement of end-users and many food product manufacturers are trying to feature a new processing technique for the healthy food supply. The non-thermal nature of cold plasma treatment is one of the leading breakthrough technologies for several food processing applications.
